  • 183: Unbecoming: Find yourself a therapist
    Oct 9 2024

    In the 11th season of We Go Boldly we are getting series. We’re talking trauma and doing a deep dive on unbecoming. We thought it would be a good time to flashback to our episode on therapy and women's mental health. Finding a therapist who meets your needs can significantly improve your mental health and overall well-being. When searching for a therapist, it’s essential to consider your specific requirements, such as expertise in women's health. Start by identifying what type of therapy might be most beneficial for you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy are among the many approaches available. Utilize online directories and databases such as Psychology Today or TherapyTribe to filter therapists based on your preferences, including their specialization in women's health issues.

    Another critical step in finding a therapist is to seek recommendations from trusted sources. Friends, family members, or healthcare providers can offer valuable referrals. Additionally, many communities have local mental health organizations or women's health clinics that provide resources and referrals. When you contact potential therapists, inquire about their experience with issues related to women's health (if appropriate), such as postpartum depression, menopause, or trauma recovery. This way the therapist has the relevant expertise to understand and address your unique concerns effectively.

    Lastly, it is important to consider logistical factors when selecting a therapist. Check their availability, location, and whether they offer virtual sessions, which can be particularly convenient for busy women balancing multiple responsibilities. Verify if they accept your insurance or if they have a sliding scale fee structure to accommodate different financial situations. Remember, finding the right therapist might take time, but prioritizing your mental health and well-being is worth the effort. By following these steps, you can find a qualified therapist who specializes in women's health and supports you on your journey to improved mental wellness.

    GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK

    1. Take the time now, before you need one, to find out how your insurance supports your mental health. Is there a specific service you must use? Take the steps you need to now in order to get everything lined up and ready to go so when the time comes that you need therapy you are ready.

    2. Check out our Weekly Women’s Circle. This is a great baby step for strength and support.
